has hit out at the government for what he described as preferential treatment in the handling of the haze issue in the country, with bigger firms always being allowed off the hook.
“Malaysia is suffering from haze each year caused by human. But when it involves larger companies, the action always seemed a bit slow, as though our power is limited,” he said at the Dewan Rakyat, here, today. Anwar, who is also PKR president, said it was unreasonable for the government to only blame Indonesia every time a haze occurs here when local multinational companies based in the republic were allowed off scot-free.They make hundreds of millions of ringgit each year.
Anwar also questioned the government’s action in allowing companies to cultivate oil palm on pit soil, which he pointed was harmful to the environment.
